Ellie's first trip to Idaho

At the end of October, one of my friends got married and had her reception in Idaho. We were having amazing weather and Josh desperately needed to finish up his last landscape job, so Ellie and I braved the trip to Rupert all by ourselves! I was a little nervous that she'd wake up screaming and startle me and we'd crash or something, but Ellie is way too nice for that. I fed her, we got in the car, drove to say goodbye to Josh and then she fell asleep and stayed that way until an hour from Rupert. I stopped and fed her, she fell back asleep and we made it without any problems!

Ellie met a lot of family and was such a good baby throughout the entire trip. She met some of my cousins and aunts and uncles as well as my grandparents. The highlight for me, was taking her to my grandparent's house and having them meet her.

She laid in Grandpa's arms, and unfortunately stared at the wall..

When Ellie was laying in grandma's arms and grandma was taking to her, she was just smiling and smiling away. It was the cutest thing!

We tried to get a 4 generations picture, but it was a little rough for the 4 of us. I wasn't looking and then my mom wasn't looking and then grandma wasn't looking and then we all weren't looking... Finally we got a good one though!

I also got to show off my cute baby at the Acequia 2nd ward, and it was her first time at church. She did pretty good, I got my first taste of hanging out in the mother's room with other moms, and I got to show her off to everyone. Of course they all thought she was adorable and everyone commented about her hair.. How could you not? :)

Ellie took naps with both grandma and grandpa! My parents are so cute with her and are the best grandparents!

My parents and I played games until really late Sunday night (um about 11pm... Haha) and we were all exhausted so we went to bed.

We drove back in torrential downpour and then terrible winds, but Ellie slept the whole way. I'd say our first trip to Idaho was a success!
